The CPJ Editorial Board at the 2015 launch of our online platform, Angles
2015 was a great and productive year for The Carolina Planning Journal! We published Volume 40 of our print journal, “Planning for the New Economy;” we launched our online platform, Angles; we met with planning practitioners at the North Carolina American Planning Association conference in Raleigh, NC, and with planners from all over the nation at the 2015 American Planning Association conference in Seattle; we began our three-year strategic planning process; and more!

Today, we are making a PDF of Volume 40:Planning for the New Economy, available for free here. Check out our Table of Contents below, and see what our writers contributed in 2015.
If you would like to get this volume (or any other back issue) in print, you can buy it here. Please consider subscribing to the Journal to support all this great work and to be the first to read Volume 41: Planning for Creativity online and in print when it is released in May 2016.
Thank you so much for an inspirational year to all who read the print volume, the blog, or spoke with us at a conference. Here’s to another great year!
